About

Hot air balloons launch at dawn over Lake Skinner -- twenty of them, rising slow and quiet above the Temecula Valley while the winery crowd below is still on their first glass of the morning. This is the Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival, June 5-7, 2026, at Lake Skinner Recreation Area in Winchester, CA.

Three days of hot air balloon launches, live music on two stages, and wine tastings from Temecula Valley's best producers. Friday and Saturday nights end with a balloon glow -- the baskets lit from inside, the whole valley turning amber against the dark. It is one of the few outdoor events where the main attraction runs on weather and wind instead of a fixed setlist.

The lineup: over 20 balloons in the morning launches (subject to conditions -- the pilots announce at first light), local winery booths spanning the full Temecula AVA, two music stages running afternoon through late evening, and food vendors covering everything from classic fair food to Temecula BBQ.

Getting there: Lake Skinner is off Warren Road, Winchester, CA 92596. The Recreation Area has parking on site. Arrive early for balloon launches -- they happen at sunrise, typically 6-7am, and end before midday heat sets in. Gates open Friday afternoon. Weekend passes and single-day tickets at tvbwf.com. Bring layers for the early launch -- the valley is cool at dawn even in June.

Stray Kids dominATE World Tour – Los Angeles

In 4 days · May 31 SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA

SoFi Stadium at full capacity for a K-pop show is its own cultural moment. Stray Kids bring their dominATE World Tour to Inglewood on May 31, 2026 — one of the most anticipated K-pop stadium shows of the year, and a production that uses every inch of one of the most technologically advanced venues in the country. The eight-member group from JYP Entertainment has built one of the most dedicated fandoms in the world, known as STAY, and their live performances are celebrated for raw energy, precision choreography, and emotionally charged setlists that move through their full discography. The OCULUS video screen above the field provides a visual experience matched nowhere else in Southern California. Productions at this scale feature elaborate stage design, pyrotechnics, and a lighting system that transforms the stadium into a single instrument. For STAY in Southern California, this is the concert of the year. Arrive early for merchandise lines and pre-show programming. Tickets available via Ticketmaster. Floor general admission and reserved seating in all levels. The Inglewood Transit Connector and Metro C Line service the stadium area — rideshare or rail strongly recommended for faster entry and exit.

San Diego Brew Fest

In 3 days · May 30 NTC Park at Liberty Station, 2455 …

The people who built San Diego's craft beer scene are all pouring in the same place on Saturday. San Diego Brew Fest takes over NTC Park at Liberty Station on May 30, 2026 — seventy-plus local and regional breweries, unlimited tastings, live music, food trucks, and zero pretension in one of the best outdoor event spaces in the city. San Diego's craft beer scene is one of the most concentrated in the country, and Brew Fest is where it shows up in one place. The breweries pouring here aren't the same names you find at every national beer event — they're the ones that built the San Diego reputation in the first place: small-batch IPAs, experimental sours, lagers brewed with local ingredients. Over 200 beers on pour across 70+ breweries. You're not going to drink them all. You're going to find three you didn't know existed and wonder why you've been drinking anything else. The format rewards casual discovery. No complicated sampling systems — you get a glass, you walk, you try things. The NTC Park setting means you have actual space: open lawn, shade structures, room to sit down with your group. It doesn't feel like a festival parking lot. It feels like a Saturday afternoon where something good happens to be going on outside. Is it worth it? If you care about craft beer in San Diego at all, yes. Early admission (noon entry) is worth the upgrade if you want the first pour hour before lines build at the most popular booths. After 1pm it fills out but stays comfortable — this isn't a mosh pit, it's a beer garden with table games and live music. What to know before you go: bring sunscreen and a light layer for late afternoon when the marine layer rolls in. Food trucks are on-site — eat something before tastings start. Liberty Station has free parking directly adjacent to NTC Park. The event runs rain or shine. Tickets are sold through the official website (not Ticketmaster) — buy in advance, prior editions have sold out. Designated driver tickets available if you're the one driving. San Diego Brew Fest is one of the few craft beer events in SoCal that feels like it was built for the people who actually live here — not for a crowd flying in for a weekend. That's the difference you taste in the first pour.

Leanna Firestone With Special Guest Abby Cates

Today · May 27 3503 South Harbor Boulevard, Const…

Live music in a room like Constellation Room has a specific physics: the sound arrives before you've decided how to feel about it, and Leanna Firestone With Special Guest Abby Cates has always known what to do with that. Leanna Firestone With Special Guest Abby Cates performs at Constellation Room in Santa Ana on May 27, 2026. Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 8:00 PM, All Ages. The crowd at a show like this has been waiting for exactly this room — the specific night where the distance between stage and floor is close enough to matter.

De Yun She 2026 World Tour 30th Anniversary

Today · May 27 6801 Hollywood Blvd., Dolby Theatr…

Dolby Theatre, 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood. May 27th. De Yun She's 2026 World Tour 30th Anniversary — three decades of cross-talk performance, the traditional Chinese performance art that combines rapid-fire dialogue, wordplay, and comedic timing at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. De Yun She is the Beijing cross-talk troupe that has brought xiansheng — the traditional two-person comedic dialogue form — to arenas and theaters for thirty years. The anniversary tour lands at the Dolby Theatre, which is one of the grandest performing arts venues in Los Angeles, and the juxtaposition of a traditional Chinese art form in the building that holds the Oscars is its own kind of statement. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 27th. The Chinese community in Los Angeles has been following De Yun She for decades, and the 30th anniversary is the occasion the troupe has been building toward. The Dolby is sold out for similar events — book early. Cross-talk rewards knowing the references, but the timing and the commitment to the form is legible without the cultural context. This is performance at the highest level of a tradition that goes back centuries.

Leire

The Belasco in Los Angeles is the kind of venue where the crowd can see the sweat and the setlist changes feel personal. Leire performs at The Belasco in Los Angeles on May 27, 2026. Doors at 8PM, show at 9PM, ALL AGES. The setlist is fixed, the room is real, the sound doesn't survive the door — this is the version that lives only in the people who show up.

The Observatory in Santa Ana is the kind of venue where the crowd can see the sweat and the setlist changes feel personal. Powerman performs at The Observatory in Santa Ana on May 28, 2026. Doors at 6:00 PM, show at 6:15 PM, All Ages. The recording is already out there — this is the version that isn't.

The Cab - The Back From The Dead Tour

Tomorrow · May 28 400 W Disney Way, #337, House of B…

House of Blues Anaheim, 400 W Disney Way. May 28th. The Cab — the Las Vegas band that found an audience in the pop-punk and emo adjacent world of the late 2000s and held it through a career that the Back From the Dead tour name acknowledges directly — playing Anaheim on the tour that brings them back. The Cab occupies a specific place in the memory of people who were seventeen in 2008. The songs were radio-adjacent but sharper than radio, the live show was the version of the recorded material that the recordings were always pointing toward, and the House of Blues Anaheim is the scale that makes this work. Close enough to feel the room, far enough from the stage that the whole band is visible. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 28th. The House of Blues has seen this kind of reunion tour energy before and handles it well — the crowd that shows up for the Back From the Dead tour is the crowd that was there the first time and never really stopped listening. Be in the room for it.

Arankai: The Portrait Tour with Special Guests Buf

In 2 days · May 29 400 W Disney Way, #337, The Parish…

The Parish at House of Blues Anaheim, 400 W Disney Way. May 29th. Arankai: The Portrait Tour, with special guests Buffering, at the Parish — the mid-cap room that handles the kind of indie-circuit touring show that lives and breathes in rooms exactly this size. The Parish is the venue that fits this level of artist: close enough that the performance is personal, the House of Blues sound system handling the nuance that smaller venues can't, a standing floor that creates the crowd dynamic that rock shows were designed for. The Portrait Tour is a named tour — which means a concept, a setlist with a through-line, not just a greatest hits rotation. Tickets at ticketmaster.com. May 29th in Anaheim. If you've been following Arankai and waiting for the Southern California stop, this is the date. Get there early. The Parish fills from the stage back and the best spots are claimed by the people who know to arrive before the opener starts.
